Missing. I check again, searching through boxes and crates. It isn’t here. My mind whirls searching for an answer and with a sudden realization panic and fear rise within as I rush out the door. “Oh god, please, no. Please, no.” So well camouflaged during yesterday evening’s photo shoot for Spider Craft, it was left behind.

As a little girl, I was mesmerized by the craft of the spider. From the eaves of the cottage, the spider would weave its masterful web directly across from my bedroom window of the attic. I carry that fascination and admiration still today. It should then be of no surprise that I enjoyed the Second Grade Halloween craft brought in by one of the room mother’s at school so many, many,………many years ago.

One peanut in the shell.

One long black pipe stem cleaner cut into 8 equal sections.

Punch holes in sides of peanut shell with a yarn needle where legs are to go.
